32: Prince? We are his sons!

When Luo Yongan and Luo Yongning dragged him to the Main Hall, Mo Yingqi was still holding a piece of pastry. He couldn't help it; he naturally had a huge appetite, and last night he had been... like an ox plowing the fields. He didn't even know how long he had been exerting himself.

As for Luo Yongan and Luo Yongning, they walked a little unnaturally. The two sisters exchanged glances, both showing a smile that held a hint of helplessness mixed with an inexplicable excitement.

Luo Yongan and Luo Yongning were actually extremely proficient in pharmacology. Back when they were in the Northern Territory, while they practiced martial arts, they also cultivated medical skills and Gu Techniques. Especially Luo Yongan, her talent was exceptional; she had already learned almost all of her maternal grandmother's skills at this age.

The wine Mo Yingqi drank twice, and the “Love Follows” inside his body, were all made by Luo Yongan. Luo Yongning could only help. In this regard, she was indeed inferior to her older sister, but only inferior to her.

Mo Yingqi's talent was astonishing, his physique remarkable, and his stamina ridiculously good. Most importantly... when the two sisters thought of the scene from last night, their legs involuntarily went weak again.

It was a good thing both sisters had set their sights on him. This man, who looked as beautiful as a woman, truly... kept his abilities hidden.

When they arrived at the Main Hall, Luo Yongfu and Luo Yongze had already drunk several cups of tea. These two brothers were born of the Central Palace Empress and were The Emperor's first and second children. They were meticulously educated from a young age and excelled in both civil and military arts.

Now that The Emperor had ascended the throne, these two brothers were the only Imperial Princes who had been granted the title of Prince. However, The Emperor's descendants were not numerous compared to The late Emperor. Besides these four siblings, there were two other Imperial Princes and three Princesses born to other consorts.

Mo Yingqi wondered if it was just his imagination, but the two most respected Imperial Princes of the Daxing Dynasty, who were also the biological elder brothers of Luo Yongan and Luo Yongning, almost spat out their tea when they saw their two sisters, looking as if they had seen a ghost.

"The sun is already high, Imperial Younger Sisters. Oversleeping is not good... but you should still sleep more." Luo Yongfu gave an awkward laugh. "Only by sleeping more can your health improve. You two Imperial Younger Sisters are busy with a myriad of affairs, so you should rest well!"

"If you have nothing to say, then don't say anything." Luo Yongan rolled her eyes at her Elder Brother. "Why are you here so early?"

"We heard Father Emperor say that the two sisters moved into the Princesss Residence, so Elder Brother and I came to offer our congratulations." Luo Yongze nudged his Elder Brother. "Elder Brother, didn't you prepare the gifts? Bring them up quickly. We still have to return to our posts and shouldn't bother the two Imperial Younger Sisters... Oh, is this my Brother-in-law? Look, look! My sisters certainly know how to choose a Prince Consort! This appearance, this demeanor, this... Brother-in-law, what is that on your neck?"

Mo Yingqi was stunned, clearly not expecting him to mention that. His neck? What could possibly be on his neck?

"No one will think you're mute if you don't speak."

Luo Yongning turned to straighten Mo Yingqi's collar, then shot a sharp glare at Luo Yongze. Luo Yongze quickly coughed twice and smiled sheepishly: "Well, Brother-in-law, my two sisters are virtuous, talented, stunningly beautiful, and of noble status. Think about it, Brother-in-law, it's already difficult for an ordinary person to marry one Princess, but you married two at once."

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Luo Yongfu glared at him fiercely. "Brother-in-law, don't listen to him. He just means that you must stay with my sisters and live a good life together—that's more important than anything."

"Ah, those words are wrong. Actually, what I wanted to tell Brother-in-law is that now that you've agreed to the marriage, you can't back out, okay?" Luo Yongze quickly explained. "A true man stands between Heaven and Earth, and his word is his bond..."

"Will you two ever stop?" Luo Yongan was annoyed by their rambling. "Fine, if you have serious business, hurry up and say it. If not, go back to your posts!"

"Oh, isn't it just that we're happy in our hearts knowing our sisters are finally getting married?" Luo Yongfu laughed heartily. "Someone, bring the items up. Imperial Younger Sisters, when the wedding day arrives, we, your older brothers, will present grand gifts."

Saying this, Luo Yongfu clapped his hands, and gift boxes were brought up one after another like flowing water. Gold, silver, jewels, antiques, calligraphy, paintings, and many extremely valuable looking pieces of jewelry.

"By the way, Brother-in-law, you've also moved into the Princesss Residence, right? We prepared a share for you too. Please don't despise it, Brother-in-law."

Luo Yongze looked at Mo Yingqi, his face full of smiles. But Mo Yingqi felt a little awkward; this person's expression was truly strange, as if he was terrified that Mo Yingqi might run away.

"Your Highness the Prince is too kind, Your Humble Servant..."

Before Mo Yingqi could finish speaking, Luo Yongze hurriedly waved his hand: "We'll be family from now on, so there's no need for these formalities. If Brother-in-law doesn't mind, you can simply call my Elder Brother and me Imperial Brother during the day, and we'll call each other brothers privately."

"That is against propriety. Furthermore, Your Humble Servant is merely a minor official of the Seventh Rank. How dare I be so presumptuous?" Mo Yingqi hastily refused. "If it weren't for having known The Two Highnesses since childhood, I probably wouldn't have become this Prince Consort, let alone have any relationship with the two Princes."

"Hahaha, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Luo Yongfu looked completely unconcerned. "As you said, you became the Prince Consort precisely because you knew my two Imperial Younger Sisters since childhood. Why worry about formalities for something that has already happened? Moreover, in our family, including Father Emperor and Empress Mother, no one cares about these things behind closed doors. Brother-in-law, please don't be so polite with us."

Ying Hong and the group of maids nearby couldn't help but secretly laugh upon hearing this. They truly didn't care about formalities, especially these two Imperial Princes. The relationship between The Emperor and his sons was so deep that The Emperor was often seen grabbing a weapon in the Imperial Study and chasing the two Imperial Princes to hit them.

They didn't know about other royal families, but this family was genuinely harmonious, and they were extremely united on one matter—hurrying to marry off their two Raksasi Daughters and ensuring they didn't go crazy at home.

"It's fine, Yingqi. My two Elder Brothers are the easiest people to talk to." Luo Yongan explained to Mo Yingqi with a smile while instructing someone to count the gifts and send them to the storeroom. "If you ever need anything, you can go find them. Imperial Brothers, Yingqi works at the Pacification Bureau, which is a job that naturally offends people. I ask that you... look out for him?"

"Your servant accepts... bah! Don't worry, Sister, that goes without saying!"

As Luo Yongze spoke, he suddenly stood up straight, his back rigid. This posture was not how one spoke to a younger sister; it was clearly how one replied to The Emperor! And Mo Yingqi seemed to have clearly heard him say, "Your servant"?

"Alright, the Second Brother and I have duties in the palace, so we won't disturb the two sisters and Brother-in-law." Luo Yongfu pulled Luo Yongze and started walking out. "Oh, right, Brother-in-law, please take great care of my sisters from now on!"

"Yes, Brother-in-law, remember to prioritize your health. Eat when you should, drink when you should..."

"You talk too much, hurry up and leave!"

Before Luo Yongze could finish his instructions, Luo Yongfu clapped a hand over his mouth and ran off. This scene was surprisingly familiar; Mo Yingqi often saw it when he led the Flying Fish Guard to capture criminals—that's exactly how the criminals looked when they fled for their lives... Only after running out of the Princesss Residence did the two brothers finally breathe a sigh of relief. Luo Yongfu looked back at the Princesss Residence, his expression complicated, and then looked at his younger brother: "Second Brother, don't you think we're being a bit dishonest? Good heavens, The Emperor, the Empress, and the two of us Princes are helping those two Ancestors deceive the Prince Consort. This..."

"Why didn't you say that just now? Why bring it up now?" Luo Yongze glared at him crossly. "If you don't help, are you waiting for those two Ancestors to dismantle us like chicken frames?"

"Then let's just keep deceiving him. I have a family and career, and my wife just gave birth..." Luo Yongfu swallowed hard. "Good heavens, since the founding of the Daxing Dynasty, there haven't been two Legitimate Sons as cowardly as us."

"Give me a break, Legitimate Son! Others are called Imperial Princes, what are we?" Luo Yongze also looked mournful. "When Father Emperor introduces us to others as 'Dog Sons,' people think it's humility, but the problem is... we really are Dog Sons!"

The two brothers looked at each other and sighed in unison. But soon, Luo Yongfu laughed out loud: "Fortunately, those two Ancestors are finally married off! Five years, a whole five years! We've finally made it through!"

"Elder Brother, if I were you, I wouldn't be so relaxed." Luo Yongze patted his shoulder. "Do you really think they'll let us off? This is just the beginning! When you ascend the throne in the future, you'll have your hands full!"

"Don't, Second Brother. I truly don't want this throne. You should take it."

"You take it, you take it. You're the Eldest Son, if you don't take it, who will?"

"...How about you stage a rebellion? Elder Brother promises not to resist?"

"Stop it. Become The Emperor just to continue being treated like livestock by those two Ancestors? Do you think I'm stupid?"
